New England Farmer, ITO raise the temperature

point IL to set one Or more common Kerosene
lamps on the cellar bottom during the day time,
when not wanted for lighting the rooms above.
We have all noticed how much warmer living
room is in the evening, when the lamps are
burning than In the daytime with the same
amount of nre In the stoveelor furnaces. All
the heat from . burning lamp IL retained In the
apartment. Twenty-Five cents worth Of kero-
beat. and in many cases It would be the cheapest
means for keeping cellar from freezing during
the passage OF an extra cold waye.'

three pints Of hot water. Before quite cold add
one tablespoonful OF spirits OF camphor and TWO
table-spoonfuls OF tincture Of myrrh: bottle and

CHEWING THE cuD.
Illumination, or chewing the cud. lie the pro-
cess where by the rnEinant animals collect their
food and with little or no mastication when
euch food il perfectly soft and moist. as In
grass, they form II into bolus, and with little
expenditure Of saliva. they pass II down the
gullet into the psunch. which. when it has be-
come dstended with sufficient quantity, stimn-
lstes the animal to seek for rest and quiet, and
he commonly lies down. The paunch begins
now to exert its extraordinary powers OF separ-
atirg portion from the contained mase. and
return 1t into the mouth. where II undergoes
complete maeticaiion; being retained from fall
ing out Of the mouth again by the numerous
papiilae or roughness on the tongue, which are
the palate: sufficiently masticated and mixed
with the saliva, II IL again passed down the
threat. but instead Of again entering
the first stomach, and muscular gutter forms
itsclf into tube and carries il Ut once into
the third stomach, where having to
undergo further change, II IL pressed into the
red bag (fonfth stumach), to undergo farther
ISOLATION by means 9f the gastric fluid, prepara-
tory to its being converted into nutriment under
the name OF chyle.
GENERAL NOTES.
The stock of English wheat 10 reduced to TO-.
O0O.OOO bushels, against $1,000 900 at the same
time last year.
Interest IL like an open faucet to the molasses
barrel. The molaeees will run out slowly, but
it will all get out.
Austro-Hungary is not exporting much wheat.
A good share of Indian, Russian and American
wheat exports IL going to France, Italy. and
Spain.
About Il, OOO pounds OF silk cocoons, averaging
81 per pound, have been raieed in Utah during

Norwegian engineer, VI. C. Noller, has
found that reindeer hair and skin possesses re-
marksble buoyancy. and when the unehorn ekiu

| cork OF warming the wearer while in water. He
attributes great value to suits made from the
| reindeer hair, one of which of the weight Of I
pound may keep man from drowning. while !,
furnishes greater protection from cold than oil
skin and other materials.
IN preparing food for stock, euch ~ cooked
